Life...its colors!




Life has many colours, a few I am depicting here.

Maroon. Most radical thing one could do to his life is become a monk, and being a monk means self-abnegation for a cause, a tradition that extants. Marooned at a very young age, monks they say, leave the world for the sake of the world, in search of spirituality, revelation and peace. Here the cheerfullness of the monk completely overshadows his obligations.

Another is the colour of youth, full of nascent callow ambitions many of which will be sustained in the walk of life, bating myriads, insatiable. Oblivious with the mettle it takes to sacrifice one's self, she is cheerfully enjoying the company.

Grey. Too blased to be fascinated by any of the brighter colors, the old man shows absolute disinclination towards the worldly desires.

Shot in Dharamshala, home to thousands of Tibetan monks, I feel lucky to have captured these mild moments, showing light exchange of thoughts, spoken and unspoken.
